Best Airlines for Vegan Food

Scroll down to see which airlines have the best vegan options...

There are some airplane food horror stories out there, especially when it comes to vegan cuisine. Luckily some airlines are upping their game when it comes to alternative meal choices. With 6% of Americans now identifying as vegan it's about time that airlines start adapting to the dietary choices of their travelling customers. See the best airlines that are catering your needs...

Top Tip 1

We would always recommend to pre-book your vegan meal with your airline prior to flying (usually at least 48 hours before flying). It will save you enduring a 10 hour flight on a single banana, like this poor guy below.

Top Tip 2

If you are still wary of airplane food, vegan or not, then take a snack with you on your flight. I would avoid anything too smelly or sloppy, so leave your kimchi tupperware at home (your flight buddy will appreciate it).

Top Tip 3

Make friends with the air stewardess, a smile goes a long way! It especially helps when you are asking for more snacks! If you're a hungry traveller like me!

Bonus Tip: Take your Trtl Pillow with you for a post lunch nap

The Best Airlines For Vegan Food

4. Jetstar Airlines

They listened to customers feedback about the lack of vegan dishes available and are now offering a cruelty-free menu on all of their international flights. After researching Jetstar's vegan options it gave me major food envy! Their selection has even bagged them a Proggy Award for being the Most Vegan-Friendly Airline in Australia. You can see a snippet of their vegan menu on their Premium Jetstar Mint Service.
